Agrimony
Agrimony walks the edge between an evocative live concert and visceral contemporary dance, gliding on Laura Reznek’s sophomore album. We honour the small yellow flower agrimonia eupatoria – in plant medicine: a catalyst for honesty, dissolving the masks society forces us to craft; unveiling a truest self. Four dancers in animal masks generously weave Reznek’s songs into a comprehensive & heart-centred story.
